[BOOK REVIEW] Author Tracie O'Neil Horton tackles the complexities of humanity with K3

by Cyrus Webb

In 2024 this book that was released in 2018 is just as relevant and appealing today as it was when I initially read it. 

I went into the novel that is K3 (The Divided States of America) not really knowing what to expect, but by the end I was amazed as to how much author Tracie O'Neil Horton was able to pack into her debut. 

It's not a small book by any means, but it grabs the reader and takes you through what seems like a mini-series in written form that allows us to see how quickly life can change, and how there will always be those who fight for what they believe in, right or wrong.

Without giving too much away I'll say this: K3 takes us into a cast of characters not too different from the world we live in that are dealing with serious issues and will either find ways to co-exist or CEASING to exist. Standouts like "Mike" are sure to have the reader finding those within the pages of K3 that they can root for or see themselves in. Just as in life, however, not all motives are clear in the saga as it unfolds. The book really does show the importance of not giving up doing what you believe to be right---even when the odds seem stacked against you.

Showing both the darkness and the light that is the human experience, K3 is a book worth reading and discussing. It definitely won't be easily forgotten.

[BOOK REVIEW] In SHARE MY LIFE Kem gives a glimpse at the life behind the fame

by Cyrus Webb

 We have gotten to know Kem over the years for his great songs, but in SHARE MY LIFE he takes us behind the success to the struggles, highs and lows and road that led him where he is today.

Whether you're a fan of his music or someone who loves a great comeback story, this book will speak to you. I love the honesty, the way he talks about the dark places of his life that could have destroyed him and all he worked for---and how his faith helped to guide him to heights that few have known.

Probably the most powerful part of the book is how we are able to see how his appreciation for his success and place today is only possible because he recognizes how far God has brought him. By relying on his Creator and not on his own abilities, Kem is able to ascend to places that may have appeared impossible in the past.

Revealing and inspiring, SHARE MY LIFE is the kind of book you need to read to remind you of what is possible. That way we can learn as Kem did that the best is yet to come.

[BOOK REVIEW] Bill Bellamy's TOP BILLIN' shows what helped him get to the top and stay there today

by Cyrus Webb 

When you hear the name Bill Bellamy we all have our favorite movie or tv show that he has appeared in. You might also have caught him on stage. In TOP BILLIN' we are able to get a look at the man: how he became who he is, what helped him believe in his gift and what it's been like to learn lessons along the way.

It wasn't always an easy path for the talented entertainer. He shares his struggles and what it's been like to define himself in his career and in life. He also gives us a glimpse at his personal side, navigating relationships and fatherhood. 

This is the kind of book that is sure to inspire and motivate the reader, regardless of your career. TOP BILLIN' gives us a deep dive into the man that has made us laugh over the years----sharing what it takes to get to the top and stay there.
